Microphone

A microphone is a little device that helps you hear better. You know how you sometimes have to speak louder when someone's far away? A microphone can help make your voice louder without you having to shout.

A microphone works by taking the sound you make when you speak and turning it into an electronic signal. This signal can then be sent to a speaker or a computer, so that other people can hear your voice.

There are different types of microphones, like the kind you might see on a stage where someone's singing, or the kind you find on your phone, so that you can call your friends and family.

So, if you want to be heard loud and clear, a microphone is the perfect tool to help you with that!
